Tradex Bond Fund

Investment Objectives

To achieve a combination of interest income and long-term capital preservation by investing in a diversified portfolio of Government of Canada, provincial government, municipal government and investment grade corporate bonds. The average term to maturity of the portfolio must be greater than three years.

Investment Strategies

The portfolio is constructed using computerized optimization techniques to enhance returns and control risk. Risk is minimized through investment in Government of Canada bonds and provincial government bonds.  About one-third of the portfolio is normally invested in Government of Canada bonds with the remainder invested in provincial and corporate bonds with a credit rating of single A or better.  Bonds with a single A credit rating provide substantial protection of interest and principal, with bonds having higher credit ratings offering even greater protection.

Portfolio Adviser

The portfolio is managed by TD Asset Management Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the TD Bank. TD Asset Management is one of one of Canada’s largest and most respected funds managers. (For more details on TD Asset Management click here).

Minimum Purchase

$1,000 minimum initial purchase; minimum subsequent investment is $100. (The $1,000 minimum is waived in cases where the investor sets up a regular pre-authorized debit plan from his/her bank account and also in cases where parents or grandparents establish an in trust account for a minor.)
